Thank You Gifts for a Beach Theme Wedding

For the Bridesmaids

The bride's attendants play an important role in the wedding since they have been involved in the preparation of the big event. These women have helped the bride with her dress, hair, shoes, and the like -- which is why it is crucial that she choose a special thank you card for them. In keeping with the beach theme of the wedding, give each bridesmaid a jewelry box with seashells engraved on it; pearl earrings; bracelets made of shells; or a set of scented candles or soaps with a starfish design.

Like the bridesmaids, the groomsmen portray an equally significant part of the wedding. These men stand by the groom throughout the long wedding preparation. It is advisable to base groomsmen's gifts on their personalities and hobbies. If they like to play card games such as poker, give each groomsman a personalized deck of cards with a sunny beach design. You can also give them a bottle opener in the form of flip flops, a starfish cork opener, a shiny black starfish keychain, or a lighter with a seashell design.

Giving appropriate gifts to the little ones who have been a part of the bridal entourage will certainly make the children happy. For the young girls, pretty beach fans with pink shells and colorful starfish designs will do. You can also opt for a miniature beach pail that contains sand, shells, and starfish; a box of chocolate in the shape of fish; or colorful lip balms with sunny beach patterns. For the young boys, opt for little beach caps, a pillow with a starfish design, or personalized candies in the shape of little shells.

As for the rest of the people who have attended your wedding, it is just as important to show them how grateful you are by giving them small tokens of appreciation. Hand out touching thank you cards, personalized with each guest's name addressed in your handwriting. Scented starfish candles, beach pens, a wine glass with seashell design, folding beach chair, or personalized handkerchief with a sea or boat pattern create memorable giveaways for them as well.
